I am a Dad in Sunny Singapore. A web design professional who enjoys making food fun and healthy for my 2 boys. It all started with a simple sandwich, slowly graduating to a small tupperware box & then came the picks, nori punchers, fancier bento boxes and many more. This page serves as a way for me to share my creations and look back at the evolution of my bento skills. Enjoy!Tumblr (3.0; @bentodad)http://bentodad.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/60a27244da9add0e631c797b86eb95cc/tumblr_miwohuGhIT1r4479bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Here’s Feb!</p>http://bentodad.tumblr.com/post/44181039480http://bentodad.tumblr.com/post/44181039480Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:08:18 +0800bentodesignrock<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c12e647040821d51cc36b75bc73e7a32/tumblr_miwnytFBIc1r4479bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This year, my boys requested no more cutesy bentos so I stopped posting photos of the bentos since it’s not that interesting.
